'Captain America: Brave New World's end-credits scene, explained
Captain America: Brave New World breaks tradition with most of the recent MCU movies, delivering one end-credits sequence and skipping a mid-credits sequence entirely.
However, the end-credits scene does uphold a different recent MCU tradition: teasing more multiversal battles.
What happens in the Captain America: Brave New World post-credits scene?
In Captain America: Brave New World's post-credits scene, Sam Wilson/Captain America (Anthony Mackie) visits the villainous Samuel Sterns/the Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) in the high-security prison known as the Raft. There, Sterns warns Sam of a major new calamity.

"It's coming. I've seen it in the probabilities, seen it plain as day," Sterns tells him. "All you heroes, protecting this world — do you think you're the only ones? Do you think this is the only world? We'll see what happens when you have to protect this place from the others."
Who are "the others" Samuel Sterns mentions in the Brave New World post-credits scene?
As far as MCU end-credits scenes go, Brave New World's is fairly lackluster. Another vague multiverse tease? Groundbreaking.
But the mention of "the others" is a fascinating detail to latch onto, even though it's — once again — vague as can be. Who could Sterns be talking about?
Perhaps, since Brave New World spotlights the forming of a new Avengers team, "the others" will function as a counterpoint to that. Could it be a team of supervillains assembled by Dr. Doom (Robert Downey Jr.), confirmed to be the villain of Avengers: Doomsday? Or could the Avengers have to contend with evil variants of themselves once the multiverse threatens Earth? I say let them fight!
Captain America: Brave New World is now in theaters.
